I’ve blogged about this before but it needs highlighting again.  Animals Australia have a petition to stop long distance suffering for animals being exported on ships in the most dreadful of conditions.  

Some of the smallest and youngest victims are actually born on board, and according to Animals Australia, the distressed crew are ordered to cut their throats. 

Animals are suffering and being cooked alive on live export ships. 

There is a video you can watch from Animals Australia’s website.   I haven’t included it here – if you want to see it you need to go to their website.   The most important two things for us all to do is to sign the petition and spread the word. 

These sheep need us and they need our action.  Help shut down this illegal activity and get these animals off these death ships 

Be the next person to make a difference and sign now.

 

Do you want to put a stop to sights like this?

Plastic rings holding beer and cider cans can be seen all over the place on land and on the sea, in our rivers and beaches.

They harm and kill birds and fish – and add thousands of tonnes of plastic waste to our planet.

The answer is to get alternatives.  Companies need to ditch plastic rings.  Carlsburg are now going to use recyclable glue instead.

So we need to persuade other beer and cider companies to do the same.   We need to put pressure on these companies to change their ways.

38degrees have a petition you can sign to put pressure on these companies to get rid of plastic rings.  If we can do that, it’s another small step to make a difference.

Every action helps.  Every signature will help put pressure on these companies.  Every signature is a voice for animals.

There’s a petition on Care2.com which we need as many people as possible to sign.

China is one of the world’s biggest importers of illegal animal products such as elephant tusks, rhino horns and tiger bones.

China lifted the ban on rhino and tiger products
Please sign this petition asking them
to reverse this decision and to reinforce this ban


SIGN THIS PETITION HERE

Last year, China’s long-awaited ban on ivory came into force.  Results were seen in months, as demand went down.

The ivory ban was welcomed to previous bans on the use of tiger and rhino parts which passed 25 years ago.

Unbelievably, last week Beijing lifted its ban on the use of tiger and rhino products in traditional medicines.  The demand for tigers and rhinos could rocket.

Care2.com says there are less than 30,000 rhinos left on earth, with 5 different species.  All the animals are teetering on the edge as 3 rhinos a day are poached.  That number will rise now that China has said it’s okay to use rhino products.

There are less than 4,000 tigers left in the world in the entire Asian continent.  Again, demand for tigers will rocket now.

Care2.com says,

China must reverse this terrible decision and reinstate the ban on rhino and tiger products. A world without these amazing creatures is not a world we want to live in.

Please sign this petition on Care2.com.
